Langan home...
A bit later, Olivia sat curled up in one of the living room armchairs by the window, staring absently outside. It had begun snowing, and her mind suddenly wandered to Christmas. They'd alternated where they'd spend them every year between home and Trevor's parents house in Connecticut and she'd been so happy that this year was a home year. The moment she and the children returned from France she'd begun preparing the house; seven Christmas trees downstairs, the grandest of which towered ten feet tall in the main foyer, it's ornaments and lights sparkling beautifully. She let out a sigh. Her mind had a way of focusing on menial things when she was going through turmoil, she knew this but this time, no amount of distraction would take her mind away from what she felt was a betrayal from the man who promised again and again that he'd never hurt her.
She anxiously rubbed her hands over the expanse of her belly as more tears trailed her face. With the baby being so active tonight she was feeling some discomfort but not so much that it was bothersome. She smiled, thankful for the tiny life inside her, so thankful for all of her children because they've been her very sanity. She remembers when she was carrying Chloe, how excited Trevor was at becoming a father for the first time, probably more excited than she was at becoming a mother even in spite of the hell they'd been going through because of Elliot and Trevor not even knowing for sure that their daughter was indeed his; yet still, he loved her from the very moment he knew that Olivia was carrying her. Too bad neither of them had a clue that their world would fall apart within the 3 months that followed finding out that she was, in fact Trevor's but it did and now here they are…
"Fallout…" she whispered to herself through her tears. She looked down at her belly, noticing how much bigger it had gotten and her sobs overtook her when she thought of the day she woke up in that hospital five years ago. One look at Trevor's face and she knew. The news had crushed her then and right now, she felt like she was being crushed all over again.
Trevor stood in the doorway of the living room watching her and wanting nothing more than to take her in his arms and make everything right. He'd done this to her, he was the reason her heart was breaking right now and he hated himself for it. He wanted to protect her but only ended up hurting her worse than he ever could.
"Liv…" she immediately wiped her tears away when she heard his voice, then his footsteps as he made his way over and stood in front of her, looking down. She wouldn't raise her head to look at him so he got down on his knees in front of her. "Baby, please look at me" she bit her lip, hesitating before turning to face him.
"You have to know that I was only trying to protect you"
"By making me doubt myself and my ability to be a good mother?"
"You are an AMAZING woman and an even more amazing mother! You love our kids with everything inside you and they know it, they are the luckiest kids in the world to have you."
"Was there ever a time over the years that you thought to yourself… " she began but changed her mind "you know what? It doesn't matter because the fact is you had every opportunity over the last five years to tell me the truth and stop me from hating myself for what I thought I did to our baby girl but you didn't! You just sat back and watched me wallow in the pain of something that I never should have blamed myself for; the nightmares, the heartache… the amount of therapy alone, just to stop hating myself! it was the reason I obsessed so hard about getting pregnant again. I felt like you hated me for losing her; even though you wouldn't say it, in my mind I was convinced that you saw me as less of a woman because I didn't protect our daughter and get her here safely and I thought that the only way you'd ever truly forgive me was if I gave you back what I lost. I just… I don't understand how you could keep something like this from me"
"Baby…"
"Just go. I can't do this right now. The baby can feel my stress and it's not good for either of us"
"For the record, I don't want to do this but I love you enough to respect what you want"
And I love you for that.
"How honorable"
"Do you need anything?"
Hold me until the hurt is gone
"No, I just need you to go."
Trevor dragged his hand down his face, clearing his throat as he wiped his tears.
"I'll um, I'll be at the apartment. Will you call when the kids wake up tomorrow?" she nodded as more tears fell from her eyes
"As soon as they're out of bed"
"Liv please! Scream at me, hit me, tell me what a complete fucking moron I am! Tell me you hate me, hell, actually hate me but please; don't make me leave, please!" he begged, his head on belly, soaking her shirt with his tears. She looked down at him while he sobbed and her heart hurt even more but at the same time, she felt herself becoming angry again and it was in that anger that she stood up after pushing him away from her and walked out of the room without so much as glancing back at him.
... ... ...
Later that night she lay in bed, curled up with Trevor's pillow as her tears continued while she listened to the sound of the rain outside that had quickly replaced the snow. He had only been gone for two hours but she missed him even in her anger.
She'd watched the video again after he'd left and it devastated her all over again. All the years she and Elliot were together and she never knew him at all, never knew that he was capable of such evil. He'd done a lot of terrible things, but this? This was sick even by Elliot's standards and it hurt to know that he would never pay for what he'd done. Death had been too kind a fate for him.
"Even from the grave, every time I think I've managed to shut you out, you find a way back in!" no sooner had the words left her mouth, her phone rang.
"Fin, hey… did you hear from the lab?" she asked, wiping her tears
"You don't sound like yourself, what's wrong" he asked, immediately having picked up on the sadness in her voice.
"Nothing…I'm just tired" she answered dully
"Baby girl that's not tired. Look, you know you can talk to me, right? About anything" her eyes quickly filled with tears again
"I know; I just… I'm still processing some things. I just need time"
"But other than whatever's on your mind you're okay? The kids, Trevor, everybody's okay?"
"We are. And I love you for being concerned."
"You know I got you." Fin smiled "So the lab… didn't find any prints on the rings but I tracked down the jeweler who made them, he authenticated; custom design and he never reproduced"
"So they are my rings, but how did they get back to me after five years?"
"This is the thing we need to figure out. I'll look in to a few things and get back to you when I can but in the mean time, I don't want you worryin about this."
"I'll try."
"Liv… you sure you're okay? Is Trevor home?"
"No. He's um…we had a fight and I asked him to leave"
"What do you mean fight? Do you need me to come over?"
"Fin it's not what you think, he didn't hurt me; he wouldn't…"
"Mama" Adrienne's small voice called from where she stood in the doorway rubbing her eyes.
"Fin, I gotta go, Drew just woke up" she said as Drew made her way over to the bed
"Call if you need me"
"I will. Good night Fin" she said before ending the call "Baby, why are you awake?" she asked Drew who had climbed up onto the bed dragging her gorilla behind her.
"The bad man scared me" she answered as Olivia reached for her and snuggled her close
"What bad man?" Olivia asked, alarmed "Did you have another bad dream?" Drew nodded her head where it lay on her mother's breast "You wanna talk about it?" Drew shook her head and held tighter to Olivia.
"Where's Daddy?" Drew asked in a small, frightened voice, her eyes full of tears
"Daddy's not here right now sweetie"
"But I want my daddy" she sobbed into Olivia's nightgown
"I know baby" Olivia soothed as she held her daughter, trying to calm her but Drew was having none of it and cried even harder for Trevor.
.
Langan apartment…
"I should have destroyed it" Trevor said to Brian and Travis as they sat around the living room of the apartment drinking beer while the game was on. Trevor didn't actually drink so much as he peeled at the label on his bottle.
"No you shouldn't have" Travis disagreed. He'd come home from the wellness facility a week ago and had gotten back to himself. "I told you, you should have told her the truth years ago"
"After you told me that I was right for not telling her in the first place" Trevor reminded him
"Yes, but then I realized that it was stupid advice and corrected myself" Travis retorted
"Hey, I agreed that he shouldn't tell her" Brian interjected "You callin my advice stupid?"
"I'm just saying, secrets destroy relationships"
"We are not destroyed" Trevor disagreed
"No, because you guys are strong." Brian agreed "I know Liv, she's pissed right now and undoubtedly hurt but once she calms down and clears her head she'll see that you did this to protect her"
"And look at the bright side" Travis added
"There's a bright side?"Brian and Trevor asked in unison
"Yep. Now that it's out, you guys don't have any more secrets between you. Try to keep it that way genius!" he grinned before throwing a handful of popcorn at Trevor while Brian sat laughing.
"Noted" Trevor said while brushing popcorn from his hair. His phone rang and he froze with excitement when he looked at the display and saw that it was Olivia "I'm gonna take this in the den" he said as he got up and hurried down the hall. Once inside the den he quickly shut the door before answering the video call,
"Hey" he said but his smile quickly faded when he saw the frazzled look on Olivia's face while Drew lay on her shoulder sobbing "Baby, what's wrong?"
"She had a bad dream and she's been crying for you since she woke up; baby look, it's daddy" Drew lifted her head from her mother's shoulder and looked at Trevor.
"Daddy…when are you coming h-home" she cried, slobbering on her fingers that where in her mouth. Trevor looked to Olivia before answering Drew
"I don't know sweetheart. But hey, how about you tell daddy why you're so upset" he said softly and just like she'd done with Olivia moments earlier, she shook her head, no.
"I don't want to"
"It's okay, you don't have to. How about you stay in bed with mommy tonight and we'll talk until you fall asleep?"
"Can I mommy?" She asked looking up at her mother, her bright blue eyes glistening with the tears that trailed her cheeks. Olivia smiled as she wiped Drew's face, grateful that Trevor had succeeded in calming their hysterical child.
"Of course you can, baby." She said as she delivered a kiss to Drew's head. "Why don't we get comfortable and daddy will tell you a story" she promised as she lay Drew down on the pillow next to her, settling them both beneath the covers and wrapped her arms protectively around her baby girl. Trevor smiled looking at his girls and wished more than anything that he could be home with them right now.
"Semper and Jax too?"
"They're at the groomers until tomorrow, remember?" Olivia reminded her.
"Oh!"
"Okay princess, what's it gonna be?" He asked Drew, trying to stave off the tears that he felt stinging his eyes.
"Jack and the Beanstalk" she said, already yawning
"Good choice" Trevor smiled, preparing to begin the story but before he could begin, Drew began giggling.
"Mommy's tummy is moving" she laughed sleepily as she reached back and patted Olivia's belly.
"I guess your brother or sister wants to hear the story too" Olivia said
"Sister!" Drew protested before yawning again. Liv and Trevor both smiled then Trevor began telling the story.
"There once was a boy named Jack…"
... ... ...
Adrienne had fallen asleep not even 5 minutes into the story and was now snuggled peacefully against her mother who lay whispering to Trevor.
"Thanks for calming her down"
"It's nothing. I just wish I were there"
"Trevor"
"Liv…I get it, and I'm not gonna push. I know that you need time and I'm okay with that." Olivia gave a nod, her eyes filled with sadness. "Anyway, you get some sleep. I'm sending Mike over to keep an eye on things, he'll be there sometime tonight but call if you need me?" Olivia didn't protest. She knew that Trevor was just taking precaution for her safety even if it was unnecessary.
"I will… Trevor?"
"Yeah?"
"I love you"
"Still?"
"Always" she promised. They were both in tears at this point .
"I love you too. Goodnight."
"Goodnight." She smiled before ending the call.
If only they had known that Adrienne hadn't dreamt the bad man at all and that he had been inside the house.
.
Sixteenth…
"We got a call" Murphy announced to the squad just after 11pm "Young man found raped and beaten in Central Park; the weapon used in the beating is lodged inside him"
"Now that's just nasty!" Fin frowned
"Thank you for volunteering, Sergeant, why don't you and Amaro take this one since Rollins is nowhere to be found"
... ... ...
Cribs…
"I won't miss you, but I'll sure as hell miss this!" Rollins breathed heavily as she lay on top of Dean in just her bra, both of them in a sweaty heap after they'd just fucked each other senseless.
"Gee, thanks!" he quipped
"Just being honest!" she grinned as she rolled off him and stood up, searching for her clothes "So what are you gonna do when you get back to DC?" she asked as she stepped into her panties and pulled them up over her hips
"I don't know, play golf with the president?"
"You don't know the president" she laughed, putting on her jeans
"Sure I do! Great guy!" he smiled before reaching down and pulling his boxers up. "It's my last week in town…why don't you let me take you out – on a real date?"
"Why?" she asked as she pulled her sweater down over her head
"Look, we may have started off on a very…we had a rough start but the thing is, you've grown on me. And it's not just the amazing sex – it's a HUGE plus but it's not all."
"Then…?"
"Look, I like you, alright? There, I said it!" Amanda couldn't contain the smile that pulled at the corners of her mouth
"Hmm! You sure this isn't some new ploy to get Olivia's attention? Because as much as I like you I'm not about to put myself in a position where I have to compete with a woman who isn't even interested, for your attention; I can't do that to myself again… I won't."
"And I'm not asking you to. I get it, you've had a string of jerks in your life – self included" he confessed "But that was before I got to see you, as a person and not a ploy. You're bold and spontaneous; and sweet." He said with a soft smile
"You think I'm sweet?" she blushed
"I do"
"I don't think I ever heard that one before."
"Well you should, often. Can we have a proper date?"
"What the hell, you're leavin next week, what's the worst that could happen?"
"Good. Saturday… I'll pick you up tomorrow at 7?"
"If you're late don't bother!" she said before opening the door to the cribs and leaving. Dean shook his head, a huge smile on his face.
"Never expected to come back to New York and find her!"
.
Langan home…
Unable to sleep with the baby being so active, Olivia decided to go downstairs for a snack and eased out of bed, careful not to wake Drew then threw on her robe before kissing the child and leaving the room, making sure to leave the door slightly ajar, deciding to check on Noah and Jamie before heading downstairs.
.
Sixteenth…
"Nice of you to appear, detective" Murphy chided as Rollins reentered the squad room
"I had to uh…call my momma" she lied
"Either way, it's a slow night, join your colleagues. The faster we get the statements from everyone, the faster we can begin looking for this guy.
"Yes sir. Guys, gimme five" she called to Nick and Fin.
"And drive safely, the rain is a bitch tonight!
... ... ...
Hospital…
By the time Nick and Fin arrived to the hospital, they were told that the vitim, 19 year old Jose Maldonado had just been brought out of surgery and that he should be waking up soon. While they waited, Nick talked to the boy's mother, Maribel while Fin and Amanda talked to the officers who were on the scene when Jose was discovered. After twenty minutes, Nick and Fin were allowed inside to talk to Jose and he told them everything he could remember about the attack that had occurred two hours prior.
... ... ...
Langan home…
Olivia was making her way down the hall to take the back stairs to the kitchen when the doorbell rang. Assuming that it was Mike, she turned around and took the front stairs instead.
"You've got to settle down in there" she said softly to the baby, looking down as she rubbed her belly while descending the stairs. The baby responded with a gentle kick that made Olivia laugh. "It's a good thing you got here when you di…" she was saying as she opened the door, but it wasn't Mike on the other side and when she saw Paul Faust standing there, thunder booming as lightening flashed, without wasting a split second she attempted to slam and lock the door but he pushed it in, knocking her to the floor in the process before entering the house.
"I've been waitin a long time to get to you!" he said, his voice dripping with hate
Her first thought was to run upstairs to her sleeping children but Faust was faster and by the time she could scramble to her feet he'd grabbed her by the hair from behind and slammed her face into a wall before throwing her across the foyer, sending her body crashing through the French living room doors and tearing out a fistful of her hair in the process.
... ... ...
Hospital…
Jose told them that it was a man, white, late thirties. He wore a skull cap and a hood so Jose didn't get to see his hair or much more detail about his face other than the scruffy blonde beard that covered his face.
The very mention of the beard sent shivers through Fin and he needed to know if there were any other details that Jose could give.
"Jose, this is important, did he say anything that could help us track him down?"
"He said…"Jose stopped when a fit of coughing overtook him and his chest rattled violently as he hack repeatedly.
"It's okay" Nick said as he poured and held a cup of water to Jose's lips. Jose gratefully took a long drink before settling, with Nick's help back against his pillows then took and released a deep breath. "Do you need to stop?"
"No. no I want you to get this guy" Jose said in his thick Puerto Rican accent "after he beat me; when he was raping me with the bat" he found himself choked up again and needed a moment to collect himself before he could go on.
"It's ok man, take your time" Fin said sympathetically
"I'm okay" Jose wept, fanning his hand as he wiped his tears in a very dramatic fashion. "When he was raping me, he was talking all this crazyness, saying make sure I tell the police what a good little decoy I was"
"Decoy?" Nick asked, confused
"Si papi, he said he was gonna go get him some cop pussy and that she had it coming a long time and that to make sure to tell y'all" Nick and Fin felt their hearts drop as panic quickly overtook them. it couldn't be.
"Did he say where he was going?" Fin asked with all urgency. Jose nodded before answering, frightened at how strongly the two officers were reacting.
"Westchester"
... ... ...
Langan home…
She landed hard amidst the broken wood and glass having tried her best to shield her baby from the impending crash and fall and now had several cuts to her face, legs and forearms as a result. She groaned, feeling pain radiating through her entire body and before her mind could register something other than the aching she felt, Faust's boot kicked her hard between the legs then kicked her in the face, smashing with such force that she felt her jawbone crack as blood flew from her mouth before he had again grabbed her hair and began dragging her across the living room through the broken glass and wood creating even more cuts to her legs. Olivia put her hands down to gain traction but she only managed to slice her palms on the shards as Faust pulled her body away.
... ... ...
As fin, Nick and Amanda sped as fast as they could to get to Liv, Amanda repeatedly tried to call only to be met again and again with no answer.
"Nothing!" Amanda cried
"Keep trying!" Fin ordered, trying to make a radio call for backup while Nick Dialed Trevor who didn't hear this phone because he was in the shower.
"FUCK!" Nick yelled in frustration.
... ... ...
When he'd gotten her clear of the mess, Faust dropped Olivia in the middle of the living room and she immediately tried to pull herself up but a swift kick to her ribs stopped her and landed her flat on her back, hurting and panting for air.
"I've waited ten long years for this!" Faust seethed as he got down and straddled Olivia's body, an evil snarl on his face and loving the sight of the bloodied pregnant woman beneath him as he used his fists to viciously pummel her face, she clawed and screamed and swung desperately at him, trying with everything she had to stop the assault, but with her energy quickly depleting she was no match for his strength.
Olivia's lips parted to emit a plea for mercy but before she could speak, both his huge hands were around her neck squeezing as he yanked her to her feet this way, slamming her against a wall and cutting off her air as she tried to speak but it came out nothing more than an unintelligible gurgle.
"What's that?" he grinned
"Please!" she managed to squeeze out.
"You don't have to beg for it baby!" he grinned, still holding her by the throat "I'm gonna take real good care of you!" he brought his face closer, looking her in the eye before leaning in even closer and dragging his tongue along her cheek as he squeezed her breasts. She let out a cry of pain, and felt bile rising in her throat at the feel of his hands on her. When his mouth moved to hers, roughly kissing, she bit down on his lip hard and as he screamed, her frantic hands finally grasped something from the side table against the wall and she slammed an antique brass box against his skull twice before his hand dropped from her throat then she hit him a third time with all the strength she could muster, causing a gash to open on his head and knocking him to his knees before she turned to run.
Upstairs, the ringing phone and the noise had woken Drew and she sat up in bed, frightened by the sounds of things crashing downstairs, her little head whipping nervously around in search of her mother and when she didn't see her, she began to cry, suddenly frightened wanting the comfort of her arms.
"Mommy…Daddy?" she called in a tiny voice, hoping Trevor had gotten home before running into their bathroom only to find it empty as well. But she could still hear the loud noises from downstairs and she wondered if maybe her parents were the ones causing it, quickly deciding to see for herself as she made her way down the main staircase.
Faust caught Olivia's ankle in his grasp and she again went tumbling, this time, falling on her stomach, slamming violently into the floor and having the wind knocked completely out of her. She couldn't breathe! She opened her mouth to scream but no sound would come, just a deluge of silent tears as she writhed in agony and when she finally managed to inhale through the pain…
"My baby!" she cried, trying to pull herself up with one hand while cradling her belly with the other, sobbing on her hands and knees as she attempted to crawl away but he put a stop to that with a kick to her stomach, knocking her back down then stomped as hard as he could on her right leg then knelt, grabbing the back of her head with both hands and repeatedly slammed her face against the floor, shattering her nose and splitting her forehead before twisting her left arm so violently behind her back, the bones snapped and she screamed like hell, crying hysterically "Don't do this!" Olivia begged through her sobs, blood pouring from her nose, mouth and head
"Not only am she gonna do this" he assured her as he tore off her robe then continued to tortuously twist her broken arm, causing her to scream even louder as it broke in a second place "I'm gonna enjoy it!" he said, using his free hand to unbuckle his belt and undo his jeans. She thrashed beneath him, trying desperately to get away from him while pain shot through her body from every direction.
"No! No please don't…please!" she begged but he paid no mind to her cries as he forced her legs apart.
Drew froze when she heard her mother's cries upon reaching the landing and she started to run for the living room but stopped upon seeing the broken glass all over the floor and instead ran down the hall to enter from the library. She entered the living room unseen by her mother and Faust and what she arrived in time to witness sent her cowering behind the sofa.
"NO!" Olivia cried as she continued to struggle beneath him. Tears began pouring from Adrienne's eyes and she clamped her hands over her mouth so that she wouldn't make a sound
"Might as well enjoy it bitch!" he grinned with his torn, bloody lips as he pushed himself against her entrance, ripping into her mercilessly while she screamed against his hand that was now clamped over her mouth,gripping her hair with the other as he took her, all while Adrienne sat watching, out of sight and too afraid to speak or move
She knew that she should call someone, her parents had taught her what to do in an emergency but they never told her that an emergency could ever mean witnessing her seeing her mother horribly beaten and raped or that the shock of it would render her motionless and so terrified that she'd be unable to do what they taught her; that she'd be unable to do anything more than exactly what she was doing right now: hiding and hoping that her daddy would come and make the bad man stop hurting her mommy.
… … …
Olivia had no idea how much time had passed but it felt like an eternity. She lay there beneath Faust, blocking out his grunts and heavy breathing as he moved viciously inside her. When he'd had his fill of violating her face down, he turned her onto her back and beat her again before violating her further, biting her like an animal while he continued to force himself on her but her focus was on was the child inside her; she hadn't felt it move since she'd fallen on her stomach; now she lay there praying to God to let her baby be alright, unaware that her other baby sat in a puddle of her own urine behind the couch having been completely traumatized by what she'd seen.
Even if he kills me, you have to save my baby she begged as tears poured down the sides of her face and she put her hand to her belly, praying for a sign of life.
With a loud growl, Faust came for the last time and pulled out, shooting the remainder of his ejaculate onto her stomach. She didn't fail to notice that his member was covered in blood, the sight nauseating her, forcing her to dry-heave as he picked up her discarded robe and used it to clean himself; tossing it afterward and putting himself back into his jeans. She hurt terribly, and with her body broken and beaten, she couldn't move, she couldn't do anything but lie there, anticipating his next move while she prayed for her baby as absolute fear gripped her.
"I knew you'd be worth the wait" he taunted as he buckled his belt then pulled up his pant leg to reach for the knife that was strapped securely to his calf in its holster. The second she saw the blade, she came undone and began pleading with him.
"Please…please I'm begging you, don't do this to my baby, don't…I..p-please! Whatever you want I'll do just don't hurt my baby; please!" she sobbed as he pressed the blade to her neck. Her voice was weak, fading in and out but full of desperation.
Faust gave an amused laugh before he sent his fist smashing into her already broken face, the excruciating pain leaving her panting in heaving gasps. "You took away ten years of my life and you think I give a shit about your kid?!" he pressed the knife harder against her neck, drawing blood then pulled it away, holding it up in front of him as he gave an admiring look at the blade.
"Paul, Paul look at me…" her body trembled with terror "you don't have to do this you can just go no one will come after you you can just disappear I promise just please don't do this to my baby PLEASE!" she continued, her worlds all one big jumble as they tumbled beseechingly from her lips but fell on deaf ears.
"On second thought, I want you awake while I cut this little fucker out of you!" he said with a nonchalant smirk as he raised the knife. When Adrian saw this, she understood that the man intended to hurt mother in a way that couldn't be fixed and she had to do something.
"God please!" Olivia cried but before he could stab her, Adrienne came running to her, terrified and in tears.
"Mommy!" Adrienne sobbed as she ran to Olivia with her arms outstretched.
"BABY NO!" Olivia screamed as Faust quickly reacted, turning and swinging the blade at the child, stabbing her in the side near her ribcage and twisting the knife before pulling it out, sending her little body falling to the floor and bleeding profusely; and as Olivia lay screaming, tying to reach for her daughter, Faust then plunged the knife deep into the center of Olivia's chest, withdrew it and was about to plunge it into her belly when a gunshot sounded, the bullet entered his head, causing him to jerk and fall over.
"H-help her!" Olivia gasped, struggling to breathe while trying desperately to get to her daughter as Fin, Nick and Amanda rushed into the room. Nick quickly pulled Faust's body away from Olivia while Fin rushed to her aid and Amanda rushed to Drew, quickly removing her scarf and pressing it to the generously bleeding wound in her side while using her radio to call for help.
"Nick get towels!" Amanda yelled
"I'm on it!"
"Is she…?" Olivia cried, looking over at Drew
"She's breathing" Amanda responded frantically, unable to stop her tears when she looked at Olivia realizing that neither she or Drew might make it "You both have to hang on…"
Fin was sickened at the scene in front of him; Adrienne badly injured… the blood pouring from Olivia's chest… her naked from the waist down and more blood collecting in a small pool from where she shouldn't be bleeding 6 months into her pregnancy. He'd taken off his coat to cover her and was now applying pressure to the wound in her chest, not even bothering to fight the tears that were now rolling down his face. Olivia continued breathing laboriously as she looked up at one of her oldest friends while Nick ran back into the room with an armful of towels giving some to Fin and some to Amanda before turning to look at Faust, who lay unconscious but still breathing in the corner. He'd never felt more helpless in his life.
"Fin; Drew…the baby…!" she choked out in heaving breaths, gripped by pain and exhaustion and unable to tear her eyes away from her oldest child who lay bleeding out, the color quickly leaving her. "Drew… stay with mama…" she cried weakly, the horror of what she'd just been put through barely registering while her child lay hurt.
"Shhhh… save your strength; you're all gonna be fine" Nick promised as he fought his tears "We're gonna get you to the hospital but you need you to stay with us okay?" Nick couldn't help but notice the grotesque angle at which her left arm lay, badly broken.
Fin was trying hard to stem the blood flow from the wound in her chest. She nodded as she drew deep, erratic breaths.
"You have to save them… please!" she begged reaching out to Adrienne, taking her tiny hand "Hang on baby girl!" she cried as they heard the sirens in the distance it was becoming harder for her to breathe
Liv…baby don't close your eyes, where are Jamie and Noah? Did he hurt them?" Fin asked, needing to keep her awake when he saw that her eyes were starting to close. "Liv…come on baby girl!" he cried as Nick ran upstairs to check for the children.
"s-sleeping… I…I didn't know she…what if she saw…" more tears fell from her eyes "Don't let them die…" was the last thing she said before she closed her eyes.
"Baby girl… baby girl open your eyes!" he cried "Liv wake up!" but she had already slipped away.
... ... ...
Upstairs, Nick was relieved to find that miraculously, Jamie and Noah had both slept through the mayhem . And now, as he stood in the nursery taking his phone from his pocket, he dreaded what he had to do next and began dialing, feeling sick to his stomach as the phone began ringing on the other end. One ring…two rings…three…
"Langan"
.
So um…I was just gonna and then…I mean it didn't exactly…I'll leave now.
Please no twitter spoilers.
